Who doesn't love a good dungeon crawling adventure?


3. Baldur's Gate 2

Another classic, and one of the best. Deeply entrenched in one of the most popular fantasy worlds in existence, I spent a lot of time with Baldur’s Gate as a kid. BG2 gives you a party of up to 6 characters and lets you create your own protagonist or import a previous one from earlier games. BG2 is another isometric game where you click to kill with a fog of war system to keep certain areas of the map hidden. There’s a lot of clicking, but there’s something about that clicking that makes the sore finger worth it. Probably the loot. Yeah, it’s the loot.

No trouble out of me, I get it, stop repeating yourself.

Don't whinge.

2. Warhammer: End Times Vermintide

Rats. Why did it have to be rats. End Times is a co-op focused multiplayer only game similar to Valve’s Left 4 Dead series. There’s five different heroes to choose from with different skills. Level completion rewards players with trinkets and weapons as well as xp and a dice roll, which determines the gadgets they get to fiddle around with. If you’re familiar with L4D at all, then you’ll be familiar with the gameplay in Vermintide. I’m going to wager it’s just as satisfying killing giant mutant rat people as it is killing zombies.

Look I have pet rats but this is just ridiculous.

Zombie rats?

1. Darkest Dungeon

This game hates you. It hates you, it hates your family, it hates your cow (props if you get that reference). This game is tough. Even with the new radiant mode and with the ability to turn most of the features like corpses and heart attacks off there’s still a pretty good chance that you’re going to get yourself in way over your head and die. DD has a beautiful aesthetic, the most epic narrator next to the one in Bastion, and a dark and haunting soundtrack to go with it. The hub is the ruins of your family’s estate, which you are tasted with rebuilding by delving into various dungeons and discovering why the estate fell into ruin in the first place. Everything about this game is equal parts depressing and amazing. And the loot, the loot. Always there’s that urge to do just one more room, just one more battle, just one more, one more… and as the narrator is quick to remind you, “over-confidence is a slow and insidious killer.”

Nope.

Yeah, you're dead.
